You did not get a 400 Gr bullet in the 45-70, to go 2270 fps, you didn't have your chrono out far enough, it sounds like. But, you didn't get that sucker going 2270 fps.
With buffalo bore only pushing their 405 @ 2000 it does seem like a stretch. BUT Eldeguello knows his stuff. The ruger No. 1 is an extremely strong action. To say he didn't do it is kinda arrogant, and very rude. Why not just ask him how he did it instead?
Very Hot load, but I'm sure he did it. I've pushed the limits from time to timemyself.
